I didnt mean that bandcamp altered anything.  I mean they could submit a different master to bandcamp than they did to iTunes or physical release.  Technicolor Teeth did it with their last release (and they said the iTunes one was better).

And then maybe one of those was better than the Zero low end version i bought. 

Gotcha. Perhaps iTunes has additional criteria for the quality of submitted masters.

As for Warm Soda, it's as if they uploaded an RIAA-EQ'ed master (the actual signal cut into the vinyl master) instead of one not EQ'ed. But that would be weird since the RIAA signal is generated between the master playback and the cutting head (again, at least AFAIK).

or they uploaded a crappy version to Soundcloud on purpose - they don't want to give away the good version, only the bad mix for you freeloading cheapos.

Not Soundcloud. Bandcamp, and they want $6.66 for it.

Devo - Pioneers who got scalped

Love - Forever Changes

needed to do a cleanse

[grateful]

OK, so I'm not currently listening to anything, but if I were, it would be Dylan's Live at the Gaslight, 1962.  It captures him live, before his first major release, when he's still learning his own lyrics.
